Most invalids are better able to
enjoy seeing their friends during the
middle of the day than at}other times.
Few invalids care to receive their
friends until the room has been
freshly aired and set in order for the
day, the daily bath and toilet com-
pletedand the doctor's morning visit
over. Neither early morning nor
late evening are favoralbe visiting
hours.
Some visitors never know when to
go. Asa. rule, from fifteen minutes
to half an hour is,a sufficiently lopg
period, for it is far better to go
while the welcome lasts. If the visi-
tor is wise, she -will not allow herself
to be entreated to remain longer or to
prolong ler call by the invalid's plea
that she is "not a hit tired."
She is probably more or less ex-
cited though not able to realize her
real feeling until after her guest's
departure. •
But more important than all else
in visiting the sick, is the atmosphere
the caller consciously or unconscious-
ly carries with her. Conversation,
manner, even the tones of the voice
have their effect :on the invalid.
Too much sympathy with the pa-
tient is a mistaken kindness and
often positively harmful. After a
few kindly enquiries, the visitor
should tactfully : lead the conversa-
tion away from. the patient's ail-
ments into other channels. Diversion
of the right kind is really as valuable
to a sick person as a dose of'medi-
cine. '
The visitor should carry cheerful
news and avoid all ' that may be de-
pressing. One's own personal wor-
ries and trials should be left outside.
Entertaining news' items, descrip-
tions of the latest book read and let-
ters from absent friends will all be
of interest to the lonely shut -,in.'
The caller should dress attractive-
ly. Only those who have experienced
much illness, realize what a positive
refreshment a caller's charming toil-
et may be nor with what delight the
tired eyes take in every bright des
tail. You must remember that what
is merely an episode to the caller
is an event tothe patient.
Just what to take a sick friend
may be a problem. Flowers, fruits
and jellies are customary gifts. If
your friend is supplied with these
dainties, a new book or magazine,
will be . even more appreciated as
bringing a fresh element into the
sick room.
Any little- novelty
that helpss to
break the daily monotony will prove
attractive.

It is much better judgment to dis-
card things which have outlived their
usefulness than to keep putting them
away with the idea that they may
come in handy. Thechances are that
they will just harbor moths and dust.
'Give them away or do something

During the summer the fewer pic-
tures and pieces of bric-a-brac we
have around the better, so these art-
icles can all be cleaned, wrapped,
labeled and laid away. Heavy drap-
eries can be talcen down, brushed and
renovated. Lace hangings should be
soaked in cold water . until the dust
and' grime are removed,- then laun-
dered. This will give them a much
better color than if put into warm
water. In fact, many a handsome
pair of curtains has been made gray
and ugly by plunging them into
warm water.
Everything is now in readiness
for the cleaning of each room when
the time arrives, and it is not nearly
so tiresome a task to do this when
there are no small things to handle
and no accessory cupboards or draw
ers to clean.
Before beginning the remainder of
the cleaning, have everything in
readiness—ammonia, brushes, cham-
ois, furniture polish, stepladders,
pails, rubber gloves and cleaners. Do-
ing housecleaning systematically robs
it of its terrors and makes it much
less tiresome and disagreeable.

An American Missionary Working in

All thy' would is familiar with the'

Buddhists of Japan to develop and
perfect the religious spy system. Ac-

missions and adapting them to the
spreading of Buddhism.

Christian Sunday school lessons acid
gospel hymns to memory, heathen
preachers using Christian sermons
verbatim except for substitution of
the name of their god, for that of
Christ, pagan religions attempting re-
vivals along Occidental lines—these
are some of the curious phases of the
life of Japan to -day as- told by Sumner
R. Vinton, a missionary home on fur-
lough.
"As Hinduism is trying to light back
the conquering armies of Christianity
in India and as Mohammedanism is
attempting a like task ie. Africa, so
the devotees of the religions of Japan
are waking up. And just as Japan
copies western Industrial and govern-
mental life she is trying to adopt our
religious methods," said Mr. Vinton.
Revivals In Pagan Religions.
"There is a Shinto revival and a
Buddhist revival. The first named is
an attempt'- to substitute patriotism
for religion. It is a huge experiment
in national psychology. If it succeeds
it may have the same result as a
similar plan had in Germany—Japan

ORIGIN OF NAVY BLUE
Color Traced Back to the .Seamen of
Julius Caesar's Time.
The blue color soprominentin the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
ancient origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the
Romani, tracesthe origin of this
color to the Veneti, an ancient peo-
ple dwelling near the coast of Bis-
cay, and well versed in seamanship.
It was customary among them to
paint their outgoing ships as well as
the masts and sails, with a blue color;
also their •spldiers and sailors wore
blue uniforms.
According to this author, the Latin
word "Venetus," which was both the
name of the color and that of the
people, points to its origin. From
the veneti the custom was adopted
by the Romans. Thus the eon of
Pompeius, after defeating 'Caesar's
fleet in a naval battle, wore the navy
blue, although entitled to the purple.
